Derskelpin Wood is located in rural Dumfries and Galloway, in an area known as the Machars of Galloway. Formerly a spruce plantation dating from the early 1980's, it was clear-felled about five years ago. Since then it has been allowed to lie fallow allowing nature to return in surprising proliferation. Under the vegetation lies a large area of peat bog: this vitally important resource in the fight against climate change reaches incredible depth, up to 10m has been measured in the locality.
Many small spruce trees have sprung up with a scattering of Scots pine with broadleaf birch and a fair amount of oak. Along the fringes of the wood, drainage channels mark the limits of the peat and are home to emerging willow and bog myrtle. At the northern edge of the wood, the bedrock rises through the peat in a small hillock which gives commanding views over the locality and would be a great location for a hut or a camping platform.
